    Why Pro Golfers Are Flocking to a Quiet Town on Florida’s Atlantic Coast

    by

    On the surface, Jupiter looks a lot like many of the other upscale coastal enclaves along Florida‘s Atlantic coast: low-key streets lined with palm trees, yachts docked in tranquil waterways, and Mediterranean-style mansions tucked behind high hedges and security gates. But look closer and you’ll notice something else: a tight concentration of professional golf talent unlike anywhere else in the country.

    Over the last few decades, this once-sleepy town in northern Palm Beach County has quietly become one of the most elite addresses in professional golf. Tiger Woods lives here. So do Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, Rickie Fowler, and Dustin Johnson—along with more than a dozen other PGA and LIV Tour regulars.  

    The appeal is straightforward. There are 69 golf courses within a 15-mile radius. The weather is reliably mild. Luxury homes offer privacy and space to build personal training facilities. And with no state income tax, Florida residency makes financial sense for athletes who play for multimillion-dollar purses.

    The rise of Jupiter as the golf elite’s preferred hometown didn’t happen overnight. And, in many ways, it started with Jack Nicklaus. The 18-time major winner moved to Palm Beach County with his wife Barbara in the 1960s. In 1999, they opened the Bear’s Club, a private golf community in Jupiter designed to offer pros the exclusivity and practice conditions they couldn’t get elsewhere. The club helped solidify the area’s status as a destination for serious players with serious means. 

    A-listers and non-golfers alike have been drawn to the exclusive enclave, with past residents including Celine Dion, Serena Williams, and Michael Jordan. Five-time major winner Rory McIlroy picked up his Bear’s Club home from fellow major champion Ernie Els in 2017. The nine-bedroom Mediterranean-style estate, set on 2.4 acres, is now valued at over $18 million. It includes a tennis court, recording studio, home theater, gym, and a pool with views of the club’s private course. McIlroy, who recently completed the career Grand Slam with his win at the 2025 Masters, has announced plans to build a home in London—but he’s made clear the move isn’t permanent, keeping his Jupiter estate as a lasting base.

    Woods lives just a few minutes away on a 12-acre waterfront property on Jupiter Island he purchased for $40 million in 2006. After razing the original house, he built a custom compound that includes two conjoined buildings—one for living, one for training—as well as a 100-foot lap pool and a four-hole practice course. The estate is now estimated to be worth around $60 million. Nearby, he built a home for his mother, Kultida, in 2010. That residence sits on two adjoining lots Woods purchased for a combined $2.4 million in 2007, a year after the passing of his father, Earl. Woods is a key figure in TGL, the tech-infused indoor golf league he co-founded with McIlroy, which hosts matches inside SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens.

    Other pros have followed suit. Rickie Fowler’s home, purchased for $14 million, features a Magnolia Lane–style driveway lined with trees, along with a pool, a private dock, and, of course, a putting green. The 11,500-square-foot spread, featured on Netflix’s Full Swing, contains six bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a games room, and a sports bar. 

    Brooks Koepka’s home, which also appeared in the documentary series, sits near the Loxahatchee River. Designed to his specifications, the 13,000-square-foot manse has six bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, multiple garages, and a backyard putting area. Koepka acquired the lot in 2018 for just over $3 million; the home is now valued at closer to $6 million, according to Realtor.com.

    For many of these players, Jupiter offers a unique combination of luxury, privacy, and practicality. According to Realtor.com, the median listing price in the still-slightly-under-the-radar community is $1.2 million, a substantial amount but still far less than Palm Beach’s $3 million. That said, there are currently more than 40 properties in Jupiter listed at $10 million or more. And for context, the median sale price in the area has more than doubled over the last two decades, signifying increased interest and demand from high-end buyers. But numbers aside, it’s really the easy access to a greens-centric lifestyle that entices golf’s elite to the area.

      Tiger Woods and Justin Timberlake Are Teaming Up to Build a 600-Acre Town in Florida

      by

      It’s not every day that a legendary golfer and a global pop star join forces in real estate.

      But that’s exactly what Tiger Woods and Justin Timberlake are doing in their latest venture, a luxury residential community in Wellington, Fla., a popular equestrian destination. The new enclave, aptly dubbed the Wellington, will span 600 acres, with single-family homes, condos, stores, and a hotel near Palm Beach. With a focus on enhancing the area’s equestrian spirit, the proposed development includes doubling the size of the current international showgrounds as well as a nine-figure investment to expand and upgrade other major facilities.

      Nexus Luxury Collection, a developer and hospitality group founded by Woods, Timberlake, and British billionaire Joe Lewis and his Tavistock private investment company, is leading the charge alongside entrepreneur Mark Bellissimo, with plans to start updating the area’s current 18-hole Cypress Golf Course next month, Bloomberg reports.

      Wellington is usually busiest during the winter months, when equestrian and polo competitions are held throughout the town. Now, however, finance firms and their employees, who moved to the area during the pandemic, are looking to make it their main base but may be looking for more than what’s currently available. The Wellington’s 120,000-square-foot sports-performance facility and a world-class racquet center are just two amenities in development to breathe new life into the town, as well as a 17-acre commercial center for stores, restaurants, and offices. 

      “The programming and the amenities and the lifestyle that you’ve got to deliver 12 months of the year is a little short in this area,” Christopher Anand, Nexus’s CEO and managing partner, told Bloomberg. “We have a real opportunity to redefine what full-time living is for families in South Florida.” 

      Sites for the Wellington’s custom builds will range from a quarter-acre lot to five acres, with pricing starting at $3 million. Completed condos and single-family abodes, meanwhile, will vary between $4 million and $5 million, according to Bloomberg. Those rates might be a steal for some, compared to Palm Beach, where “it’s $10 million to have a conversation” about purchasing a home, Anand says. 

      The developers expects some push back from a few locals as development continues due to the scale of the plan. But Bellissimo, who acquired the land over two decades, hopes his record of doing business in the area will keep things moving forward.

      If you’re an equestrian fan, the Wellington could be for you. Buyers looking for a suburban respite close to their West Palm Beach offices may also be interested. Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates, actor Tommy Lee Jones, and rock legend Bruce Springsteen have all owned homes in Wellington, which is experiencing rapid growth. With no time like the present, you can check out the Wellington website for more details.  More

      Trans Am Champ Simon Gregg’s $13 Million Florida Manse Comes With a Private Dock—and It’s Up for Grabs

      by

      It looks like three-time Trans Am champion Simon Gregg is shifting gears. The race car driver has put his South Florida mansion on the market, and now the prized pad can be yours. 

      Gregg’s five-bedroom, six-bathroom abode sits right on the border of Palm Beach Gardens and Jupiter. The latter is where A-list professional athletes including Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods also own property. According to records, he paid roughly $9 million for the spread back in 2021. He recently hoisted it back onto the market for a cool $12.8 million with Holly Meyer Lucas of the Meyer Lucas Real Estate Team at Compass. 

      Sited on half an acre, the contemporary residence offers 100 feet of direct frontage on the Intracoastal Waterway. Naturally, there’s a private dock for you to park your yacht or to sit on while you watch the boats pass by. Other outdoor amenities include a summer kitchen, a fire pit, a sparkling swimming pool, and multiple sundecks. Essentially, it’s the perfect place for either entertainment or relaxation.  

      Trans Am champion Simon Gregg just listed his waterfront estate in South Florida for $12.8 million.

      Internally, no expenses were spared in terms of the design. There are expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, a glass-enclosed wine room, and stone flooring throughout that was imported from Italy. The overall aesthetic is modern and minimal, which is a big departure from other addresses in the neighborhood. The kitchen feels super sleek, decked out with top-of-the-line Gaggenau and Miele appliances, a large center island, tons of storage, and even a hidden wet bar. “It’s a treat to show it,” Meyer Lucas told Mansion Global. “There’s no part of the home that’s not aesthetically pleasing, even the laundry room.”  

      The home spans two floors and has primary suites on both levels.

      Elsewhere, a lavish first-level primary suite sports its own covered patio. Plus, the spa-like bathroom comes complete with a freestanding soaking tub, a double vanity, an oversized shower, and a custom walk-in closet. A solid wood floating staircase leads to the second floor and another primary suite. Here, you’ll have your own sitting area (which could double as an office), another custom walk-in dressing room, and en suite. The pièce de résistance, though, is a balcony that looks straight out to the water. It’s a view that can’t be beat.
